LOS ANGELES —January 11, 2019— A massive teachers strike in Los Angeles is still planned for Monday after a union rejected a new offer from the nation’s second-largest school district and declared an impasse following 21 months of increasingly heated negotiations.

After hours of new talks Friday, the union representing teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District announced that the new offer was “woefully inadequate.”

The district’s offer, unveiled Friday, included adding nearly 1,200 teachers, counselors, nurses and librarians to schools, reducing class sizes by two students, and capping class sizes to between 32 and 39 students, depending on age and curriculum.
